The Gopher Garden is a building in FarmVille. It was released on June 6, 2012. The Gopher Garden allows you to lure gophers onto your Farm. Captured gophers go to your Gopher Garden earning you rewards including special Gopher crops.

When the update is made available to you on your farm, you should receive an in-game pop-up. First, place the frame of the Gopher Garden on your farm. You only have to place one Gopher Garden on one of your farms in order to capture gophers on any of your farms. Then you need to collect Gopher Treats in order to "lure" gophers. There are two ways to collect Gopher Treats:
1) Click on your Gopher Garden and select "Ask for Treats." This will post to your Facebook wall alerting your friends that you need Treats.
2) Collect Gopher Treats from posts on your neighbors' Facebook walls.

When you capture a gopher, you earn a specific reward for that gopher. Rewards include Farm Coins and XP, consumables such as Fertilizer, and seeds of new crops that are only available from capturing gophers. (These crops cannot be purchased in the market.)

NOTE: Say, for example, you place your Gopher Garden on your Home farm. Every time you successfully capture a gopher on any of your other farms (English Countryside, Lighthouse Cove, etc.) where you do not have a Gopher Garden, you will receive a pop-up message asking you to place a Gopher Garden on that farm. You do NOT have to place the Gopher Garden on a second farm. You only need one Gopher Garden on one farm.

The gophers that you are able to catch depends on the Level of your Gopher Garden! Everyone starts out at a Level 1 Gopher Garden where you will have access to three different gophers to capture. Each Level 1 gopher requires 1 Gopher Treat to lure them. Level 2 gophers require 1 or 2 Gopher Treats to lure them. Level 3 gophers require 2 or 3 Gopher Treats to lure them. Before you can access new Gophers you’ll have to level up your Gopher Garden by capturing a certain number of gophers. Look out for gophers that will pop up in your farm’s plots when you are harvesting, plowing, or planting. Continue reading this post for the Gopher Garden leveling up requirements.

When you catch certain Gophers you will be given specific rewards. Refer to the list of Gophers below to find out what rewards you’ll receive when you capture them.

So exactly how do you level up your Gopher Garden? By catching Gophers of course! Here’s the breakdown on exactly how many Gophers you will need to catch to upgrade your Gopher Garden to the each level.
